Letter: Not BA's problem
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: In spite of specific warnings, the British government failed to ensure the security of passengers on Pan Am Flight 103, destroyed over Lockerbie on 21 December 1988, for which it was responsible. British Airways is behaving responsibly in refusing to risk the lives of passengers and crews by carrying Salman Rushdie. The Department of Transport, not BA, is responsible for Mr Rushdie's security when he travels by air. It seems that BA has little confidence in the department's security arrangements.
Yours faithfully,
